Lashman replaces Jeremy Neville as Ram coach. Lashman feels if the Rams are to improve on a 7-17 season in 2011-12, then fundamentals have to be a priority.

“We need to work on fundamentals, that is our No. 1 priority,” he said. “We need to learn things like left-handed dribbling, left-handed shooting and blocking out. Also, we need instruction on help-side defense. Once we meet in November, that is all we’ll be doing.”

Schuyler, minus three varsity players, lost to Class 2 power Harrisburg 57-30 at the Northeast Team Camp Monday. Lashman was pleased with how hard the team played.

“We played a very good team and hung with them for awhile,” he said.

The Rams trailed 22-10 in the first half until Christien Henderson’s three-point basket with 1:30 remaining in the half sliced the Bulldog lead to 22-13. Henderson hit another three moments later that closed the Harrisburg advantage to 24-16. Harrisburg led 26-16 at the half.

Senior guard Brandon Wuebker said there will an adjustment period for the team with a new coach.

“We will have a different offense and different defense,” he said. “Our coach is a little old-school. The one thing he wants us to be is in shape.”
